Solution

The correct option is A Red blood cell
Phagocytes are derived from stem cells in the bone marrow. Phagocytes of humans and other jawed vertebrates are divided into "professional" and "non-professional" groups based on the efficiency with which they participate in phagocytosis. The professional phagocytes are the monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, tissue dendritic cells, and mast cells.
Red blood cells do not possess phagocytic activity.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
